I've been holding off for long enough now I don't think it'll ever be perfect so here are some pics to share. I'm the 4th SCR member to own this tank and it's still kicking really well.

Quick specs
150gal eurobraced external overflow with 4 1" returns
2- 1 1/2" drains one to sock the other to the external WMr200 skimmer
30gal euro fil sump with small fuge
Full apex (finally)
Kalk king
2 TLF reactors, GFO and carbon
15gal ghetto rodi reservoir
2 full spectrum dimmable LEDs
Other stuff that no one prob cares about but it's all working.......finally

Hey how's that convic tang doing I'm sure his fine he was a trooper and eat like a pig .tanks looking good
He's giving the blue tang and sailfin some competition when food hits. I thought it might be an issue with the sail but they almost school and swim around together

Thanks everyone else for the replies. With it really being my first tank it's good to hear I'm not screwing it up. So far.......

The stand looks cool
Hah, I built the stand in my garage. Good to hear I'm not the only one who likes it, well the wife sort of does. It's growing on her.

Tanks acrylic and the black sand is awesome. Definitely a little more maintenance but I'm beefing up my cleanup crew this week to hopefully it helps.

Looks great!
I love those rock structures. Plenty of swimming room.
What lights are those?

Thanks man. The company is ocean revive artic-s026. Everything in the tank is growing so I guess they're getting the job done. Got them from another reefers breakdown
